Sun in Cancer/Summer Solstice

When the cat's away....

...It's all fun and games, until someone gets run over and their head skinned...

...Roadkill mania marking the first day of NYC summer, hoorah summer 2011! ...Hope this isn't an omen of things to come...

Mars enters Gemini

I love it. I hate it.

Forget trying to make up your mind or stay focused, because as it goes, whatever stimulates you at the moment is going to be what sets you into motion, in which ever way it wants, at whatever time it feels...You can love it. You can hate it. No matter, as it's all about tasting a bit of everything now, so do with your time what you will to quell curiosities and keep that brain aroused, as you never know where you might wind up and if there is anything you are going to love now, it's surprise!

...and as it goes, all things Gemini means there is a need to fidget and be curious, making time sucks  an inevitable part of life...so adding my two cents in on that subject, here are some of sites I've discovered that do just that, but in the most fun way possible!

Fave time-sucks:
http://celebrity.myheritage.com/FP/Company/try-face-recognition.php I just discovered this link and got sucked into it ASAP, loading various pics of myself and people I know....hours later...but I do have to say, the image  I posted here is from the first go at it, not the best of the bunch, which were all varied...As it goes, you upload pics of yourself and the site has some kind of facial recognition software that measures the spacing of your features, etc. and then analyzes it and tells you which celebs look the most like you! ...who would of known I'd be 67% similar to Mick Jagger?! Love it. Another pic I used paired me up with Naomi Campbell, Aishwarya Rai and Christy Turlington as look-alikes--whoohoo! Love this ego-boosting site, makes every second lost so worth it!

http://www.morphthing.com: Along the same lines of uploading a pic and getting an analysis, this one takes it further and allows you to morph with another -- anyone you choose, a celebrity or even an animal! Check out your future love child, or an alien version of yourself. 

http://picktheperp.com/: Love. This. Site. Hours of fun, testing your street-smarts to read others...I found I had a talent to pick out drug offenders, forgers, reckless drivers, murderers and wife-beaters. Yet another thing to put on the resume!

http://wordsmith.org/anagram: There is always so much more than meets the eye, and on this site it will dissect it down to the last letter! As you know, an anagram is a word or words made up from rearranging letters in a word or phrase. At this site, you can plug in names or names together to see what pops up, as it can reveal some interesting truths. Here are some famous anagrams: Leonardo da Vinci = Did color in nave; Florence Nightingale = Angel of the reclining; William Shakespeare = I'll make a wise phrase.

http://www.funeducation.com: Who doesn't love a good personality, IQ and skills test? While they can be long and some require you to register for results, it's time spent on learning about yourself a little bit better, so why not? Who knows, you might just be a genius and not know it! If anything, it will keep you busy or make you look busy for quite a while.

Mercury enters Cancer, my 9th house

Broadcasting optimism all over the world...

Voila, here is my clip from last week's appearance on The Daily Connection, where I reveal which signs are the luckiest in love and who is the winner of the grand daddy prize of luckiest sign overall! ....and I also go through the entire zodiac and which areas of luck they will all get, but note, because they had to cram it all into a certain time, three signs did get edited out. So, if you are Libra, Sagittarius or Pisces, here are your areas of luck:

Libra: sex, power, transformations of any sort
Sagittarius: health, routines, dealings with co-workers
Pisces: communications, learning new skills, travel--but short trips, like domestic travel or road trips.

All others, hit play.

Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius

No f'ing way...

Get ready, the full moon eclipse in Sagittarius is under way and chances are it'll bring a bursting of a bubble and fall down into reality that is humbling to say the least. Yes, since Sagittarius is the sign of idealism, and a full moon eclipse tends to bring swift endings or sudden awakenings, know this astrological event isn't meant to be one of ease.

Sure, there is a chance it may not bring upsetting news, and instead a closing of some sort can come, like something that has been on the negotiating table for a while, but that percentage is slimmer for the majority and if you happen to have been one of them, then woohoo for you...Either or, this eclipse will bring a giant step forward into something new and unexpected. Whether or not it's pleasant upfront, trust it will ultimately turn the tides towards your favor, as eclipses change the flow of energy towards something larger, even if you can't see it all right now.

So until then, trust in the universe and don't be in shock if something shifts in these following areas of your life, because if you ride it out, it will bring you somewhere more pleasant than before, because eclipses always bring truth. So, without further ado...

Aries: overall optimism, dealings with the world, publishing, travel, ethics.
Taurus: sexual relations, joint finances, psychic matters, death, intimacy.
Gemini: contracts, commitments, vanity, balance, diplomacy.
Cancer: routines, health, pets, efficiency, dealings with co-workers.
Leo: romance, creativity, children, entertainment, hair.
Virgo: family, home, new business, security, traditions.
Libra: education, siblings, communications, community, transportation.
Scorpio: material matters, comfort, self-worth, money, value system.
Sagittarius: motivation, individuality, physical appearance, new ideas, ego.
Capricorn: psychology, enemies, inheritances, self-imposed traps, compassion.
Aquarius: friendships, technology, the future, hopes, networking.
Pisces: career, authority figures, status, attention, responsibility.

...and F.Y.I., also note eclipses can go into effect 5 days before and after the date and also one month after or prior to the date. However, if something happens this month, it won't again strike next month. Typically, in the two-year-cycle of an eclipse, one of two of the eclipses will hit the hardest, while the others might have no affect at all.

Saturn goes direct in Libra

Get back with the flow...

....for maximum ahhhhh effect: play both at the same time for an one minute meditation...

Venus enters Gemini

Spice up your life!

Hold tight! Today, Venus, the planet of pleasure, moves into speedy and playful Gemini! Which means surprises are in store, in the most delightful and quickest way. So, time to follow curiosities, communicate all that crosses your mind and taste a little bit of everything that tickles your fancy, as it's all about getting your hands and brain entrenched into new ideas, places, and faces...While the downside can be that there isn't a lot of consistency to be had now, as in no one seemingly able to give any straight answers, who cares? There are so many ways to stimulate yourself now and forever, who needs to get caught up on one ideal anyway? If you do, you'll only be damning yourself during this period of fiesta and fun that will last until July 4!

...and subsequently, Gemini also rules media and it just so happens today at 12:30pm on channel 4 (NYC), on NBC's The Daily Connection, I'll be back on to dish about sexy summer flings and which signs will be the luckiest in getting the deluge of romance this summer....So tune in and find out! (...and if you miss it, I'll eventually post the video here, so check back...As for times and channels the show will air in other cities, click on the link above to find out.)

...and the fun never ends, because it so happens to be that Gemini also rules the hands and is the sun sign of one of my favorite people--lil Miss Pop Nails.... Now, I am not one to get manicures. Ever. Just not my thing. I OD-ed on nail polish as a prepubescent child, when it was the only make-up I was allowed to wear and never had my nails see the light of day, so much so I turned them yellow. It took a long time to resuscitate them  and get them back to their normal color and I haven't had paint on them more than once or twice for just a day or two in decades, as somehow it icked me out, like OD-ing on a certain food to the point of projectile vomit...So my point, I am no fan of nail polish...However, I recently became a convert to nail art because my friend Miss Pop is so genius! Check out her site and envy my nails!

Jupiter enters Taurus

Holy Cow!

Time to do a happy dance!!!! Yes, Jupiter, the planet of luck, makes its move today and this time into stable and sensual Taurus!!!! This means new changes, and all for the better, as new twists and turns will be around every corner, building up to a crescendo of happiness not to have been seen for 12 years!

You know it, Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system typically only moves into a new sign once per year, bestowing on that sign the biggest deluge of luck above all others. However, the good part of this all is that every one gets a chance to be the king or queen of Jupiter, but only once every 12 years--but of course, being that is is so huge and benevolent, everyone does get a piece of it, in various areas of their lives every year. So, with this transit being in solid Taurus, chances are the results of these surprises will be longer lasting and give a lot of room to grow from, as it is  the sign of investment, security and comfort. As for what you can look forward to, per sign and rising sign, now until June 12, 2012,  is receiving lucky opportunities in these various areas of your life:

Aries (March 21-April 19): Money, Possessions, Security

Neptune in Pisces Retrograde

Delusion No More

I've never been a lady that involved herself with too much reality, in the literal sense of the word. Instead, I mostly felt and dreamt my way through, and then did what I had to, to make what I wanted fit into the context of the world around me. The majority of the time, it's worked, as I do believe this world is big enough to do what you wish, if you aren't totally insane, entitled and/or lazy....However, lately, I realize that my ideology isn't all sunshine and roses and perhaps there has been a price to pay... and it's been making me wonder if I am not really one crazy bitch with a deluded point of view that can slowly count the sands of time before her methodology runs out and the ultimate crash coming over the horizon will decimate her existence as she knows it....and of course this drama just so happens to coincide with Neptune, the planet of illusion, miracles and dreams stalling in Pisces, it's natural ruler, and the sign in charge of imagination, karma and compassion....Which means hopefully there is an end to this all, as today now begins a set time to examine the facts and feelings that are circulating and hope that by November 9th, the end of this stall, there will be some major epiphanies that will teach how to better balance out dreaming and reality, to create one consistent story of joy. Until then...

Mercury enters Gemini

Partial Solar Eclipse in Gemini/New Moon in Gemini

Ready, set, switch...

Eclipse season 2011 is on! Yes, those crazy harbingers of change are back in action today, at 5:16pm EST, bringing on the first of the Gemini/Sagittarius eclipses this year--and the second of its two-year-cycle (following the first one which occurred on December 21, 2010, which was dramatically begun under the ominous "red full moon")....

Today's eclipse though, unlike the one in December, is a partial solar eclipse/new moon--which means something added to your life, rather than taken away and in a positive way. Plus, since this one is under the sign of duality, Gemini, it means anything can happen!!!!

Yes, Gemini likes to keep options open and go from one extreme to the next....so whatever jack-in-the-box will pop out will bring exciting long-term results, as eclipses are no messing around! You know it, eclipses like to arrive with shocking circumstances and with a grand entrance--helping you move life along where you might have been hesitating too much.... So, hold tight and get ready for a switch-a-roo of sorts to occur, as there won't be any turning back when they get here...and as for the areas in which to action is likely to make itself know, read your sign and rising sign...

Aries (March 21-April 19): Taking a short-trips or anything to do with transportation (new car!), learning a new skill, joining a new community.
